Despite the pleading protestations to convince the general public to leave their cars at home and step aboard public transport, the Government and local authorities don’t exactly make it the convenient and cost-friendly solution that one would hope. The prices on public transport consistently creep up and the quality and frequency of service invariably slump down. So what most of us are looking for is cost-effective transport, which is easily maintained, reliable and isn’t full of litter or smells like a particularly abused dustbin. What the general public are crying out for is a series of cars that are suitable for city driving; great handling, good performance at low revs, economical and ecologically sound. With some research I found, with relative ease, the perfect cars to fit the bill.

Vauxhall have been manufacturing popular cars for years now, but in the emergence of more ecologically aware society, many manufacturers have come under scrutiny for their ‘green’ (or not) policies and products. Happily for motorists, Vauxhall have nothing to worry about in this matter. The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi produces class-leading low CO2 emissions and is capable of reaching around 70 miles to the gallon, which is not only kinder on your wallet, but considerably kinder on the environment.

 With more and more of us learning to drive every year and with the social stigma placed on gas-guzzling cars, there is a huge scope to be mobile yet environmentally friendly. The Diesel Corsa has all the style and panache you would find desirable in a city car, yet maintains all the practicalities that we are being forced to pay more attention too.

The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi is a popular seller in the hatchback market and a suitable vehicle for learners who may not drive the most economically, city dwellers and those who need affordable transport from day to day.

In todays current climate we all have to consider cutting down on luxuries etc, one fairly large part of our monthly budgets goes towards the cost of fuel we put in our cars.  This makes it so important to have a car that gets you the most mileage for your money.Fuel efficient cars being the future of tomorrow we have many more options than we did even five years ago.  There are several types of fuel efficient cars you might want to consider two in particular are the Citroen and Peugeot.Both these cars are available in the UK and there are several great deals around. 

A lot of fuel efficient cars are run on diesel.A diesel car tends to be more economical on fuel consumption per mile.Several diesel engines offer an average of 30 miles or more to the gallon.That is significant especially with a 13 gallon tank.400 miles can be achieved from one tank of fuel.

A Volkswagen beetle or the Jetta are also really fuel efficient cars.A VW beetle can achieve about 27 miles per gallon.That is quite a lot when you consider trucks and other vehicles weigh in at 20 to 25 miles per gallon.

However the most fuel efficient car is going to be the hybrid.A hybrid uses solar power to propel the vehicle.The engine will use the solar power and keep recycling the power for as long as the sun is showing.  The fuel in these cars is for powering the engines solar power system as well as for driving when the solar power has finished.Electric motors are the same.You have fuel just in case you run out of electricity to convert to power.In some of these vehicles you can go more than 30 miles, sometimes even over 100 miles without using more than a couple of gallons of petrol.  This equates to hours of driving without needing to top up with fuel.

The prices of the fuel efficient cars are decreasing.They are definately becoming more affordable.The Prius is one of the most sought after hybrids.The mileage and comfort of this car is amazing.When looking for a new car then fuel efficiency must surely be a large consideration!
